Shock to Shock and the Space in Between

Our current world has seen drastic changes to people's lives. Sudden and unexpected events create these changes in our daily lives, our family dynamics, and our sense of self.

While some people can adapt, many others struggle to cope with their 'new normal'.

In this engaging and at times confronting book, you will see how one such event played out for this family, and how a subsequent event delivered a new set of issues to live with.

While this book follows the path of living with a partner with Multiple Sclerosis, it is equally relevant for many other situations where the family dynamics change as a result of a diagnosis, suicide, or mental health issues. 

Marita shares a heartfelt story of her life, in which her husband developed Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 34 years and died by his own hand at 48 years old.

This story is told in the hope that it may bring some support, connection and understanding to anybody that is faced with their own challenges, and feels they have no other choice but to carry on.
